<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:24px;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">I am happy to announce that the Consortium is now officially launched! The CTLDC aims to bring together people who are working to preserve the world’s linguistic diversity by training others to document and revitalize their languages. Trainers can use the CTLDCT to work together, share materials, develop theory and practice, and promote their programs. As a member of the Planning Group, we would now like to encourage you and your organization to become a member of the organization itself.</span></p>
